1953réf. 17344New York: Exposition Press. Very Good in Very Good dj. c.1953. First Edition. Hardcover. NOISBN . moderate shelfwear light fading to cloth at edges light discoloration in gutters; jacket a little edgeworn spine is browned with some minor staining a few tiny nicks here and there. The author a native of Dunlap Kansas and a then-resident of Lyons Kansas about 110 miles to the west in case you were wondering novelizes his experience at military school -- by all accounts the sort of thing you never quite get over although it doesn't necessarily obligate you to write a book about it -- to present a "vivid and authentic account of . the hazing the maneuvers the sports the youthful rebellion and all the other countless facets of cadet life." Like many vanity-romans-a-clef the author effectively anonymizes the actual locations of the action -- his protagonist hails from "Centerville" but the description of the town doesn't match Centerville Kansas and attends "Sterling Military Academy in Longmont Missouri." There never has been either a military school or a Missouri town by those names near as I can tell. The novel is set mostly during 1934 and 1935 and although the locus is primarily the doings at the school itself there are at least some references to what was going in Depression-era America and a visiting lecturer even speaks of the rise of Hitler. There's also a kind of amusing passage in which the protagonist takes a girl to see the movie LIMEHOUSE BLUES Paramount 1934 which he dismisses as "a morbid piece with many sordid undesirable scenes." All in all it presents a pretty balmy picture of life in a military academy -- even the "hazing" referenced above doesn't amount to much more than a sergeant who yells a bit and calls the cadets "the sorriest bunch of recruits I've ever seen." It does kind of leave you wondering though if the author -- especially since the book was published smack-dab in the middle of the McCarthy Era -- quite knew what he was doing when he named his protagonist "John Reed." .

1817réf. 73455Philadelphia: published by Anthony Finley No. 33 South Fourth Street. J. Maxwell printer 1817. 8vo pp. vii 1 598 2 ads; full modern calf black morocco label on spine retaining the original marbled endpapers; light toning of the prelims and terminals; all else very good sound and clean. Ownership signatures of "Francis W. P. Greenwood 1818" and "Solomon Lincoln 1843" on verso of front flyleaf. Francis William Pitt Greenwood 1797-1843 was a Unitarian minister of King's Chapel in Boston Massachusetts. After his death this book was acquired by Solomon Lincoln 1804-1881 a lawyer and politician from Hingham Massachusetts and a fourth cousin once removed of Abraham Lincoln. See: Thomas G. Cannon's article "Abraham Lincoln's Genealogical Quest 1848-1865" from which: "Solomon Lincoln noted antiquarian member of the Massachusetts Bar author of a history of Hingham Massachusetts and unbeknownst but suspected distant cousin seems to have been the first person to tap into Abraham Lincoln's pre-existing interest in his paternal genealogy. On March 2 1848 Solomon wrote to Artemas Hale a member of Congress from Massachusetts and political associate of Abraham Lincoln then a Whig colleague of Hale in the House of Representatives. After noting that he had been asked by Lincoln surname-bearers in Hingham about a possible relationship to the Illinoisan Solomon asked Hale to intercede with the Western congressman about initiating a correspondence concerning Lincoln's family history . Hale delivered Solomon's letter to Abraham Lincoln who answered immediately with the requested details. Insofar as the historical record survives AL's reply of March 6 1848 . is important in three respects. First it appears to represent the sum of his earliest knowledge about his genealogy. Second it rebuts the view of some biographers that he was uninterested in his family background. Third it shows that he was already aware of other Lincoln surname-bearers in New England especially those forenamed 'Levi.' That comment was almost certainly an allusion to Levi Lincoln Sr. Attorney General of the United States 1801-1805 during the administration of Thomas Jefferson and Acting Governor of Massachusetts 1808-1809; and to his two sons Levi Lincoln Jr. Governor of Massachusetts 1825-1834 and Enoch Lincoln Governor of Maine 1827-1829 . Six months then lapsed before Solomon Lincoln sent a third letter of inquiry to Abraham. In that correspondence Solomon wrote: "The names which you gave me Abraham Isaac Jacob Mordecai &c. are all family names here and I hope yet to link you to a New England ancestry." That appears to be the last communication between the two cousins who were frustratingly unable to document their cousinship" during their lifetimes. Adam Smith's first book one of only two works published by him in his lifetime. This work provided the philosophical basis for Wealth of Nations. Kress B.7052.
